WEBVTT , WIN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. NEXT TUESDAY. KCRA 3'S LISA GONZALES SPOKE WITH POLITICAL ANALYST STEVE SWATT ABOUT THE IMPACT HIS DECISION COULD HAVE. LISA: JOINING US IS POLITICAL ANALYST STEVE SWAT. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. LET'S TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON AND BERNIE SANDERS. IT SEEMED AT THE END OF HIS SPEECH HE WAS GOING TO CONCEDE THAT HE IS STILL IN THIS RAISE EVEN THOUGH HILLARY CLINTON IS THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE. HE TOLD HIS FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS WHAT THEY WANTED TO HEAR, THAT HE IS GOING TO CONTINUE THE RACE ONE MORE WEEK TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AND THEN TO THE CONVENTION. IT IS SURPRISING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AS THE VOTES ARE BEING COUNTED, BUT AS OF THIS INTERVIEW HE IS GETTING SHELLACKED IN CALIFORNIA. HILLARY CLINTON IS WINNING 46 COUNTIES SO THE PRESSURE WILL MOUNT ON HIM TO CONCEDE AND TO BACK HILLARY CLINTON WITH AN ENDORSEMENT. ALREADY TODAY HE IS LAYING OFF LARGE NUMBERS OF HIS STAFF AND HIS DONATIONS ARE DRYING UP. THAT PRESSURE WILL COME FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA LIKELY AND VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, AND PERHAPS FROM THE AFL-CIO, A LARGE UNION REPRESENTING 12 AND A HALF MILLION PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WHICH HAS NOT ENDORSED ANYONE. THE ONLY ISSUE IS THAT BERNIE SANDERS IS NOT A DEMOCRAT AND SO HE IS SOMEWHAT IMMUNE TO THIS DEMOCRATIC PRESSURE. LISA IT DOES NOT REALLY WORK WITH HIM. YOU CAN TELL IT IS NOT WORKING WITH HIS SUPPORTERS BECAUSE WHEN HE MENTIONED HILLARY CLINTON- HILLARY CLINTON'S NAME LAST NIGHT, THEY BOOED. DONALD TRUMP SAYS YOU CANNOT LET A -- HE SAYS YOU CANNOT LET A RIGHT-WING INDIVIDUAL LIKE TRUMP TAKE CARE OF THIS COUNTRY, SO I THINK THERE WILL EVENTUALLY BE A RECONCILIATION. LISA DO YOU THINK HE WILL RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT? I THINK THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY FOOLISH. RALPH NADER DID THAT AND DELIVERED THE PRESIDENCY TO GEORGE BUSH.
